What movie traumatized you when you were a child?

@HowtoDestroyAngels That creeped me out, too. It’s hard to believe that was a TV movie. I also wonder what the producers said to the network brass to get permission to have Tobe Hooper direct it, because “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” was really his calling card at that point.

@BamPow You put him and King together and you have nightmare fuel.

@HowtoDestroyAngels I'm right there with you on Salem's Lot. Every night since, had to make sure no floaty boys were in the fog, hanging outside the window. I also have a twin brother, which adds even more spookiness.

But there's one that freaked me out, and I have yet to revisit, called
Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983).

At 5 years old, I had difficulty fully grasping what I was watching. But it was resoundingly very mysterious and dark. And Evil. But that's it. Can't remember specific things that happened. Well it was over 40 years ago. 😔

Also, the book has been on my bucket list of books.

@Levenrack I know Something Wicked This Way Comes. Ray Bradbury. Classic.

@HowtoDestroyAngels also the part where they are trying to open Barlows coffin, and the others are waking up behind them, just does it. The tension and how slowly they're going about it, gave me the willys. Still does!
